... now a division of R/W Connection, Inc.

On April 7th, 2006 Advanced Fluid Connectors became the newest member of the R/W Connection family.  The move gives Advanced Fluid Connectors access to the industrial products and resources of R/W Connections, and R/W expands their already impressive line of industrial hose and products to the York, PA and southern Maryland markets.  Advanced Fluid Connectors will continue their close relationship with Advanced Fluid Systems, but will soon be expanding to a larger location this fall. Stay tuned for details.

Custom Products

Advanced Fluid Connectors offers custom products and solutions designed by our customers' demand for standard product in an easy to use package.

One such product solution is the mobile FLOCS unit pictured left.  This unit uses an Aeroquip FLOCS (Fast Lube Oil Change System) mounted to a mobile drum with customizable hose assemblies and connections.  The unit quickly pumps the oil from the engine to the unit for later disposal.  Then, at your convenience, the unit evacuates the waste oil from it's container to your permanent waste oil storage system.

Learn more on our Mobile FLOCS Unit page.

While working with our customers we learned that many of our customers consistently used seals and o-rings based on the connection type or style.  To meet this demand we offer several seal kits differentiated by the connection style.  These kits include a secure container, o-rings, and reference label and come in a variety of materials and hardess(durometer) options.  We also have an online order form for quick and easy communication.

Learn more on our O-Ring Kits page.

Other Services

We also offer other services to help customers reduce costs and operate more efficiently.  Many of our customers reduce hose costs and down time by purchasing or renting their own hose crimper.  Customers who have their own hose crimper also value our inventory management services for its convenience and time savings.  Other services we provide are hose pressure testing and certification on our independent hose test stand, and after-hours emergency hoses and services.
